Fab Freebie: Sherry’s Birthday Wish

***This giveaway has reached its cap and is now closed – see who won below!***

You guys shut this puppy down with 10,000 entries in less than a day. Wow! So we’ve already selected our random winner. She is… Rhonda (who thinks she’s gonna ask for a juicer – to go along with her Christmas blender). Congrats!

Tomorrow is Sherry’s 31st birthday. So a few weeks ago I asked her if she wanted to do anything special giveaway-wise to celebrate. She looked dreamily towards the sky, a smile spread across her face, and she said “I want to do a Jonathan Adler giveaway and I want a picture of him holding ceramic animals and grinning like a fool. Because we are kindred spirits. That would pretty much make my year.”

A week later this photo appeared in my inbox:

Jonathan Adler Giveawy Ceramic Animals

The girl wanted a Jonathan Adler giveaway (you can read more about her love of the guy here) and the girl got it. The wonderfully cheerful people of Jonathan Adler were completely down with the idea (and the ceramic-animal-centric photo, apparently) so they’ve offered up a whopping $500 for one lucky winner to spend on whatever they’d like – animal or otherwise. Beyond obsessing over his white ceramic creatures, Sherry shares his love of poppy patterns, colorful accents, and chic accessories that don’t take themselves too seriously. So, um, happy birthday to one of you!

    BIRTHDAY ME!

    I just found out I’m pregnant, and my due date should be about 2 weeks after my birthday. So hopefully I will be spending a lot of time with a cute baby in my arms :)

    Birthday me! On each member of my families birthday we make their favorite dinner and they get to use the “special” dishes. Its really only a red plate with matching utensils but it’s always so exciting because our normal dishes are plain white.

    My birthday is right before Christmas and tends to get lost in the shuffle, so I am always thrilled if it gets recognized in any way by people outside of my immediate family.

    BIRTHDAY ME! My birthday and my husbands birthday are on consecutive days and our son’s birthday is 9 days after mine. It’s a busy time of year for our family! I think a spa day would be a great way to relax and enjoy my birthday because live is always so crazy busy on my day.

    BIRTHDAY ME! I keep asking for a professional massage as a gift but I haven;t gotten one yet. I might have to give in and just treat myself. Although, a vacation would be nice too since my birthday is in December and we live in one of the snowiest US cities. Not something I love. :(

    BIRTHDAY ME… I would love another birthday like the one my husband organised one year. He organised a babysitter and took me out first thing in the morning to the garage sales (yard sales). We didn’t actually buy much but it was lots of fun. He then took me to a big recycling store attached to the dump where I bought a chair to do up and the coffee tables we still have today. Lunch, a movie and then dinner on the tram that used to drive around Christchurch (before the earthquakes). It was an amazing day. Actually, I wouldn’t mind if he passed on the rest of the day and we just went to garage sales together. Great birthday treat.

My birthday was forgotten this past year, 2nd year in a row, but I didn’t tell anyone because the mothers had big milestone birthdays… I think you can guess my birthday wish for this year!

    BIRTHDAY ME!!!

    I turn the big 3-0 in August, just a month after we have to move across the country to Georgia. We’ll no longer be driving distance from my family or my closest girlfriends, who are all in Oklahoma and Texas. So for my birthday, I’ll just be happy with a nice day outside with my husband and our daughter, who will be almost a year old at that point. A little ice cream won’t hurt either!
